Teeth Cleaning
Today I went to the dentist and had a deep cleaning. My teeth hurt so bad! I took a Vicodin and that didn't even help. Luckily it was grocery day and I could get some soup. I don't know how long the pain is going to last. The dentist said I had an infection and the best way to get rid of it was to floss until it bleeds. That doesn't sound like fun, but I have to take her word for it. Now I just need to get 2 cavities filled and my wisdom teeth pulled. Then I'll be good for 6 months. Other than that, it was a slow day.

Im so sorry that sounds like a horrible day! :( I hate dentists always have since i was a kid since i had a very bad experience. I hope the pain is better tomorrow and you can rest tonight. HugggzZz
Dentist - not my idea of a fun time. I am going today for a cleaning...UGH!
they sell a topical for pain for the teeth and it works, but you get a little stoned from it and have to apply more than once. WHISKEY also works, even better. lol.
i floss twice each time and preferably twice per day. flossing is the whole thing. also rub your gums with your finger, its the gums going soft that make people lose their teeth.
good luck with the wisdom teeth. xxoo
Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. .No antibiotics for the infection?
The antibiotics aren\'t free under my insurance... it would be $140 which I don\'t have right now.
